I was very tempted to call it Fall Fotos, but I didn’t. And now that’s in your head anyway.
Here are some pictures I liked, to represent what things can be like around here in the fall. The first two are around my property and the last 4 are at a park.
Now on the first day you shall take for yourselves the foliage of beautiful trees, palm branches and branches of trees with thick branches and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days.

It is time once again to update Some Blog Site readers on the results of my Some Fun Site project to create a more accurate football prediction method.
The 2020 NFL season is over, and here are the most accurate methods for predicting regular-season game results (wins-losses):
- MPW: 68%
- MPWHFA: 64%
- ITP: 64%
Partway through the season, it was looking like the Home Field Advantage factor wasn’t helping the MPWHFA method much, but it came through at the end.
If you think you have a formula that can predict the winner of an NFL game better than 63.1% of the time, let me know and I’ll add it to the list.
(For the ideas behind the methods, please visit the Some Fun Site page.)

Before the bowl games commenced for this past college football season, I made some predictions and some more predictions. Here, for your reading enjoyment, is the tally of those predictions. Note that the results are not in haiku form, in contrast to the predictions.

There is a certain infographic that made its rounds a while ago and was a popular way for people to describe why it’s important for everyone to wear a mask.
But the analogy bothered me.
First of all, I didn’t like it because it was crude and used urine to make a point. Not what I wanted to work with, but that is what the internet has served up.
Second of all, I didn’t like the attitude with which it was presented.
Third of all, it’s wrong.
It might have been right at the time it was made, based on what was known then. But now that we know more, it’s time to update the analogy.
